The film describes a world, parallel to ours,
made up of witches with supernatural
powers. The witches are extremely alluring
and their mission in life is to spread as much
evil as possible. The story revolves around two
men, who are both so-called "witch defusers",
Gallio and his younger friend and apprentice,
Teo.
Their task is to fight witches whenever
and wherever they meet them. However, Teo
is secretly in love with his brother Paolo's
wife, Lucilla. She is a wealthy divorce lawyer,
but also a witch of the highest order: she has
infiltrated the family to destroy Teo and cause
friction between the two brothers. Teo tries to
defend himself, despite his attraction towards
Lucilla. Meanwhile, under Gallio's guidance,
he prepares to face and combat Lucilla, in
order to defuse her powers.
